212 West 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 12-unit, 6-story residential building at 212 West 20th Street in Chelsea, owned by Larry Tauber and constructed in 1938, has experienced several notable maintenance issues recently. Most concerning is an emergency heat and hot water complaint filed in November 2023 that required HPD inspection but was closed due to lack of building access.
The building has accumulated multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspection failures from 2018 through 2021, with similar violations issued for 2020-2021 inspections not being filed, and one violation for a 2017 boiler inspection report that was eventually dismissed in September 2023. Health and pest management records show that between 2022 and 2024, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero infestation or eradication cases reported in the last three years.
However, rodent control efforts have been ongoing, with multiple bait applications recorded between December 2022 and March 2023, though recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed without issues. The most recent violation related to building safety systems appears to be from June 2023, regarding the failure to file multiple required external low-pressure inspections, which remain active as of October 2023. These violations suggest a pattern of oversight regarding building systems maintenance that has continued into 2023.
